Method
- 1 Slice the pork tenderloin into 1.5 cm thick slices, then pound them until they are 8 mm thick.
- 2 Marinate the sliced meat with salt, pepper, and half of the chopped basil for 30 minutes.
- 3 Pat the meat slices dry, then roll them in flour, dip them in egg, and coat them in breadcrumbs.
- 4 Deep-fry at 175 degrees Celsius for exactly 3 minutes on each side. Pork tenderloin is lean, so overcooking will dry it out.
- 5 Remove them to a rack instead of absorbent paper so that the underside doesn't get soggy from steam.
- 6 Fry the remaining basil leaves for 10 seconds, then sprinkle them on top and dip in sweet chili sauce with lime juice.
